Class of 1903
Heap Big Chief Vic Cutter asserts that a whole year has passed since he gave notice for a gathering of the tribe of Potholeskers in the beautiful lake region of New Hampshire, and that he therefore again sends forth summons for an even greater number than ever before to gather at "Musa" in New London on the shores of Little Sunapee on August 1, 1936.
In 1934 twenty-three of the class answered the first summons of our chief and with wives and children made a total count of fifty-seven. In 1935 twenty-eight classmates with wives and children numbering in all seventy-two responded. This year Vic says that he wants to have large enough numbers to tax his cuisine to the limit. He promises to be there in person, to have the same perfect weather as on previous occasions, and to endeavor to regain his reputation as the culinary artist of the Cutter tribe. What more can we ask of him?
This idea of getting together for a day each year has proven not only easily possible in these days of automobile transportation but most enjoyable. With New London a central point and "Musa" an ideal spot for such an occasion, the Cutter family brand of hospitality has simply aroused the enthusiasm of Potholeskers and their families for the annual get-together. The presence of the McElroys from Albany, the Haneys from New York, George Patch and wife from Michigan, Arthur Noyes from Rhode Island shows the enthusiasm aroused by the idea. Let us see this year if we cannot persuade some who have never attended to accept Vic's invitation.
Individual invitations with directions for reaching New London will be mailed in due time. Remember that the wives and families as well as fiancees are most cordially invited.
In the April number the report by Harold Hess of the New York alumni dinner contained the following: "There wassome 'Beefing' on the part of our classmember of the Alumni Council regardingthe difficulties of raising the alumni classfund each year, but he became more enthusiastic as the evening progressed andwas assured of the active support of theentire class." A letter recently received from the "class member of the AlumniCouncil" comments on this episode, telling how a few weeks later he met Harold on the train bound for Palm Beach and that over the tea cups, or was it spring water, the subject of Alumni Fund difficulties came again to the fore and he seized the opportunity to ask Harold to aid him in extracting surplus moneys from the pockets of 'O3 men. Harold agreed, and now with two heads working as one we can expect our class fund this year to attain new height. That's the spirit of cooperation, Harold which carries the fund effort over the top'. More power to you both.
